# Design Brief: Retro & Nostalgic (with Editorial)

Pixel typography, classic OS window chrome, or warm vintage print palettes.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f5f2e8;
  --surface: #fbf8ef;
  --foreground: #171614;
  --muted-foreground: #777267;
  --accent: #c42c2c;
  --radius: 0px;
  --font-heading: "Anton", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Georgia", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F5F2E8 (~79%) · Surface #FBF8EF (~8%) · Text #171614 (~8%) · Muted Text #777267 (~3%) · Accent #C42C2C (~2%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Sharp; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Pure Typography & Geometry
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Hero components: Interactive Hero Tool, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.

## Avoid

- Generic modern corporate gradients
- Inconsistent mixing of modern flat UI and retro chrome

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
